Industrial Action Due to Begin on Monday at Five of Amazon’s Locations Across Germany

FRANKFURT—German trade union Verdi on Friday called for a three-day strike next week over wages at Amazon.com Inc., hitting the e-commerce giant during its heaviest shopping season.

The union called for “a wave of strikes” as of Monday at five of Amazon’s nine locations across Germany, including Graben, Leipzig, Bad Hersfeld, Rheinberg and Werne. The strike is set to end with Wednesday’s late shift, Verdi said.
